Disappearing Hashtags

Feb 08, 2017

When publishing in Studio 13 (from PowerPoint 13) links that include hashtags get changed - the hashtags get removed. Does anyone know how to fix that in the published output?

Hi there, Michael.  Thanks for reaching out about this behavior.  

We've reported it to our QA team, and initial reviews are tracing it to a bug in PowerPoint.  So we are continuing to monitor this issue.  If we get new information to share, I've tagged this discussion for updating in our report.

In the meantime, you can use a URL shortener to generate a link shortcut without the hashtag.  You won't see the URL in the course, but when the link opens in the browser, it will show the full and proper URL in the address bar.  Bitly is quite user-friendly!
